Washington, I). C. The decisive vic
tory of Field Marshal von Hindenburg
in Germany's first election of a presi
dent by popular vote was the dominat
ing topic of discussion Monday
throughout Washington official life.
Views expressed as to the significance
to be attached to the action of the
German people in having conferred
the presidency upon their national war
hero, ranged from the extreme French
attitude that it was the unmasking of
militarism in Germany, to the German
construction that it was a decisive
defeat for communism rather than a
victory for tho reactionary political
faction.
Between these two extremes lay the
views of British, Italian and Ameri
can observers with tho impression
among them that a month or two must
elapse after the inauguration of the
president-elect before it will be pos
sible to forecast accurately the effect
of his election upon Europe's already
complicated political and economic
problems.
American opinion with relation to
the German election continued for the
most part to be closely screened be
hind the policy of silence that has
been observed by Washington officials
throughout. No word bearing any re
semblance to formal comment was
available from any official or even
diplomatic quarter. Despite these re
strictions, however, it was possible to
form accurate impressions as to how
the election was viewed in each na
tional circle in Washington.
Treasury officials saw no economic
throat in the election result, viewing
the choice of Von Hindenburg as
representing a reaction and therefore
as indicating a tendency toward con
servatism among the majority of the
German people.
rbe French view is frankly pes
simistic. It holds that in rolling up
a decisive majority for the field mar
shal, the German people have thrown
aside any intent to conceal what the
French regard as their basic desire
that Germany be restored to a condi
tion of the military power that would
permit enforcement of its will upon
other continental nations. The elec
tion was construed as justifying all of
the doubts Franco has entertained as
to tho purposes and ambitions of her
German neighbors and to prove that
the drastic military precautions and
measures she has urged since the sign
ing of tho armistice against the more
moderate judgment of her allies were
fully warranted.

India seriously to undertake re

he said, might contain important ovi

human race.

definitely that all human races. In

Old-Fashioned Puddings
TN ALMOST any family there will bo
found some left-over bread which
CanBOt be thrown away and the prob
lem of working it into the menu must
be thought out. Here are a few sug
gestions for desserts using bread or
crumbs as a basis:
Cherry Pudding.
Mix one cupful of sifted bread
crumbs, one cupful of flour, one-half
teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder together. Rub
In four tuhlespoonfuls of butter, add a
well-beaten egg and one-half cupful of
milk, mix all together. Sprinkle a little
flour on one cupful of pitted cherries;
if canned, drain them ami add to the
batter. Bake a half hour and serve
with a hot viinilla MO.ce.
Vanilla Sauce.
Mix one tnblespoonful of cornstarch
with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and
a little salt, then pour one cupful of
boiling water over the dry mixture and
cook until thickened and the starch
taste is removed. Beat an egg yolk
and the mixture after cooling slightly,
add one teuspoonful of vanilla, a tea
spoonful of butter lyid serve.
Spiced Graham Pudding.
Take half a loaf of stale graham
bread before It gets too dry and cut off
all the hard crust. Press seeded
raisins into the bread to cover the en
tire surface. Make a custard mixture
of two eupfuls of cold milk, two eggs,
four tatdespoonftils of svigar, one-half
teuspoonful of salt, one teuspoonful of
mixed spices and one fourth teaspoon
ful of nutmeg. Tour in the milk and
soak until the bread has entirely ab
sorbed It, turning occasionally to reach
all sides. Put into a buttered mold or
covered pail and steam one hour.
Serve with maple sauce.
Maple Sauce.
Cream two tatdespoonftils of butter,
add one-half cupful of soft maple
sugar or brown sugar with one-fourth
teuspoonful of maple extract and a
few drops of lemon juice. Set In a
cool place to harden before using.
Toait Pudding.
Prepare French toast by dipping
bread Into egg thinned with a table
spoonful of milk, then fry brown la
butter. Serve with raisin sauce.
Raisin Sauce.
Boll one and one-half eupfuls of wa
ter and one-third cupful of rnislns flf.
teen minutes, add one-fourth cupful of
brown sugar and boll fifteen minutes
longer. Thicken with a teaspoonful of
'TH1K fact that this name Is derived
from the word man, as it was used
to indicate a servant or retainer, ought
not to be objectionable to those who
bear the name. Knight also first Indi
cated a servant or retainer nnd the
good old surnames Chamberlain and
Stewart or Stuart were derived from
names indicating positions of service.
However, It has been pointed out that
Mann was an Anglo-Saxon personal
name and the surname may have been
taken from it. When man is found In
compound with other syllables it some
Jimes is used purely by wuy of de
scription. Thus we have Goodman
and Youngman.
Still another explanation Is given of
the name and undoubtedly this holds
true In certuin branches of the family.
In this case the name has a local
origin and Is derived from Le Mans,
the capital of Sarthe in France. For
instance William, who came from Le
Mans, might have been called William
Le Mans which eventually would be
come'Wlllinm Mann.
The Mann family was early estab
lished in this country. There was a
William Mann who settled in Cam
bridge, Mass., and a prominent Vir
ginia family of the name. Then there
was a Middle-states family of the
name descended from a German ances
tor of the name of Mann, which Is
even more usual In Germany than in
Kngland.
Horace Mann, born In 1706, the
prominent American educator who
married a sister of the wife of Na
thaniel Hawthorne, was descended
from William Mann who settled in
Cambridge, Mass. There was also an
Knglish Horace Mann Sir Horace
Mann. He was born in 1701. and was
the second son of Robert Mann, n Lon
don merchant, ire was British envoy
at Florence and a man of much promi
nence In the diplomatic world.
ATKIXS Sometimes this Is from
Adam and sometimes from Arthur
Pritchard. This is a Welsh name, now
usual in England and the United
States, and is derived from "Ap Rich
ard," meaning son of Richard. Con
tracted, Ap Richard easily becomes
Pritchard.
